No purchase necessary, just a comment (we're looking for your favorite autumn dinner party dishes!) and you will be all set to win the fifth book in the Gathering of Friends cookbook series, a set of paper placemats and napkins.

There are boxes everywhere! Our Christmas goodies have been arriving all summer and we're so excited to share them with you. Visit us this Friday, September 12 to get an extra special sneak peek-- peer right into the boxes and have first looks at this holiday season! We'll be open from 10-8 and serving hot cocoa to celebrate festively.

We've been busy at work here at Periwinkle turning our back room into a Winter Wonderland! Stop by this Friday, September 12 and Saturday, September 13 to see a sneak peek at our Christmas goodies! You can start checking of that list really early.

September 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Periwinkle will be celebrating in store with pirate snacks, songs and, of course, pirate talk. I'd love for you to visit for our pirate festivities from 6 - 8:00 p.m.

To get your home or office ready for the festivities, perhaps a Pirate banner?

We made this fun skull & crossbones banner using just black and white paper and string! If you're nearby, stop by to use our Accucut to cut three pennant shapes. The scraps from the black sheet of paper are cut into stripes-- no need for perfect straight lines, pirates aren't perfect! The scrap from the white paper becomes the skull & crossbones. Just a little glue stick and you are set.

Glendora Village's Friday night party is going to be all about Red, White, & Blue this week! From 6-8:00 p.m., join us at Periwinkle in downtown Glendora for color themed goodies! Then head north up the street-- Knot too Shabby will be open to celebrate, too. Carol at Undercover's will have her table out and deals in store, thank her while there -- she's organized our Friday evening parties. It will be the perfect evening for strolling & dinner out at one of the delicious restaurants.

Sure, it's still a little warm out, but we're getting ready for a change in the weather, falling leaves, and hot apple cider! There are art glass pumpkins in oranges, browns, and greens, glittery and sparkly owls for the wall and the table top, and lots of burlap trims. We're decking the store for the fall!

A selection of Halloween is already up on our website here and a little is sneaking out in the store, too. It seems a long way off now, but Halloween parties and costumes are right around the corner! Now if we can just stay inside in the air conditioning, we can all almost pretend it's a crisp autumn day.

Everyday is something to celebrate! Here at Periwinkle we love a good celebration and we'd love to share the fun -- each weekend we hold a give away on our Facebook page. We'll announce the contest at some time on Friday (this week's is up already!) and draw our winner on Monday at noon PST. There's no purchase necessary, you need not be present and, while we'd love for you to stop by and visit, we can ship your present out to you wherever you may be!
